BPD One day after a Baltimore police officer shot a loose steer near pedestrians, officer Jeffrey Bolger reportedly slit the throat of a loose Shar-Pei while another officer held the dog down; Bolger has been charged with felony animal cruelty. The department's subsequent announcement that it is reviewing its animal control policies sounds like a good first step.
